FIRST LIGHTS USKD IN WISCONSIN SUPPLIED WITH
AITLETON WATEK POWER STATION
CURRENT FROM
4
f
Forljf ive years ago this week, Oc
tober 21, 1870, to be exact, Thomas
Edison invented the incandescent elec
tric lamp, which he himself declared
laid the foundation for the entire elec
trical industry, whose property value
today exceeds $3,800,000,000, says the
Wisconsin Public Utility Information
Bureau.
, When asked what he considered his
most important invention, Edison at
once replied, "The electric lamp. It
has done more to aid the progress of
mankind than anything else I have
ever done."
From it developed tho great central
station industry with its 13,710,000
customers. The first hydro-electric
station in the world was placed in op
eration in Appleton, Wisconsin, in 1882.
It had five customers receiving cur
rent over a distance of one mile. To
day, current is sent over a distance
of 250 miles.
A. C. Langsladt, who was connected
with the first station, says that the
lamps cost $1.G0 apiece and that the
cost of current was about 20 cents
a kilowatt hour, when consumers were
fortunate enough to get it.
The lamps those days cost four
times more than they do now and cur
rent more than twice as much as at
present. Through improvement in
lumps and power stations, one dollar ,
today buys sixteen times as much il
lumination as it purchased in 1882. " -
The cost of electricity has gone
down steadily through all these years.
The latest U. S. Department of Lalior
statistics shows thut electricity is the
only item in its 'cost of living figures
which shows "a decrease in cost since
1913.
Edison's first lamp consumed 1W
watts of electricity and gave a l(i
candle power ray. Iinips in moving
picture studios today require 30,000
watts and give io,000 candle power
illumination. The light produced by
this gigantic lamp is equal lo the com
bined illumination ,of 2400 electric
lamps commonly used in homes. The
wire in this big lamp would supply
filaments for 55,000, 25-watt house
hold lamps.
It's a far cry over seven thousand
years from lighted splinters to the
modern electric light. The chronology
of lighting showing how inventive
genius worked, through the ages, follows:
M
Torches or lighted
in holders of stone
5000 U. C. -splinters
placed
or clay.
50 13. C. Romans used rushes soak
ed in grease forerunner of the candle.
300 A. D. Phoenicians introduced
candles in Constantinople.
1700 A. D. Oil lamps, with wicks,
began to be used.
1780 Oil lamps are equippd with
round wicks and glass chimney.
1800. Gas lighting perfected, but
candle still most universal.
1850. Discovery of petroleum, rev,
olutionizing oil lamp lighting.
1871). Edison, apostle' of light, pro
duces incandescent electric lamp.
.1885. Auer Von Welsbach produced
incandescent gas mantle.
1895. Incandescent electric lights
made with carbon filament in growing
use.
1907. Tungsten filament Limp pro
duced. , .
1913. Gas filled lamp in use. '
1922 Incandescent electric light,
using tungsten filament, in high state
of perfection.
This great ndvance in artificial
lighting has not been realized by thou
sands of people ;id as a result in
many homes today advantage has not
liecn taken of the improvements. The
clccliic industry is now conducting ed
ucational essay contests to inform tho
people how to use electric fights properly.
